So i can live in a huge box with a roof, sweet, but that don't get me wet every day.
Maybe like GATACCA or Demolition Man, humans won't have to have sex to procreate, how wonderful the future will be.If I can drive a manual Porsche, then why am I working ?

The cars can drive themselves just fine. ;)Why the heck would a human being drive a car?!? Sounds dangerous…

Augmented reality along with assisted drive technology could make potential problem areas glow red to attract your attention and hit your brakes if you don't react quickly enough.
Imagining poor uses of augmented reality isn't damning evidence against them. AI will get better so you don't need to stare at a screen to read your Tweets... your computer should know from your patterns which ones you would find the most interesting and tell them to you, like a friend making well timed and safe conversation in the passenger seat.
There's a lot of visions of the future where all people can imagine is what we currently have (swiping at menus) but just on more surfaces. The rise of voice and social and ai means we'll get information like a genius assistant rather than 50 iPhones taped to your dashboard.The issue here is that even with the limited tech available in the cars, the car companies are doing an awful job and it’s going to take a company (probably from outside the industry) to make a practical incorporation that doesn’t suck.

LogicWed, 18 Jan 2012 19:26:28 +0000http://www.kurzweilai.net/?p=139094#comment-7025I'm surprised at the editorial reaction to this. This is definitely the way of the future. The only thing that's missing here is the driverless car features, which will quickly be essential. Many cars (including Mercedes) already have auto-reacting safety features, such as braking for you in an emergency when your response time is too slow. Combine those safety features with these display enhancements, and all will be fine.
In fact, I'd go one further and suggest that these kinds of technologies have a beneficial evolutionary effect on our brains, enabling us to develop the skill of multitasking our thoughts. Consider when you first learned to drive a stick shift car. There were so many things to think about, you couldn't possibly master them all at the same time. Within weeks, you did all of it automatically. Now, you don't even consciously think about shifting gears. The same will be true of this technology. We humans tend to adapt quite well.I’m surprised at the editorial reaction to this. This is definitely the way of the future.
